Abstract
The recent English Court of Appeal decision in Darlington Borough Council v. Wiltshier Northern Limited has alarmed contractors and their legal advisors. It seems the well-established rule of privity of contract is now a principle of the past. What effect will this latest ruling have on contrators? Is there now any point in Employers securing collateral warranties? Karen Linker, a solicitor with the Construction Practice group of Baker & McKenzie, looks at this case and its consequences for the industry.
